“Why would #Harris, who challenged #Trump eagerly on a number of subjects Tuesday night, fail to push back against his fascistic rhetoric? The MAGA brand of fascism has brought a variety of morbid symptoms to this political interregnum. Unfortunately, Harris is working to co-opt, rather than combat, the impulses that animate those symptoms.”

“For the first time in Oregon history, a Clackamas County Circuit Court Judge sentenced an independent journalist to 14 days in jail after she was convicted of Riot for reporting on a Proud Boy recruitment event that turned violent on June 18th, 2021. The jury trial concluded with a legally inconsistent jury verdict as a result of numerous errors of law by the State. The case will be appealed.” https://itsgoingdown.org/journalist-sentenced-to-14-days-in-jail-after-being-attacked-at-proud-boy-rally/ via @igd_news
I agreed to take on a small role introducing someone at Bike Story Night tonight in #Austin. So no debate for me.
